Positive Effects of Volcanos Volcanic activity has many positive impacts on both the natural physical environment and on socio-economic activity. Positive impacts include the creation of new land‚ the creation of valuable natural minerals and ores‚ and the enhancement of countries’ tourism potential. Creation of new land: Volcanic activity can result in the creation of new land‚ when material from within the earth’s crust is ejected in the form of molten liquid‚ then cools and solidifies to created

The Effects of pH‚ Temperature‚ Enzyme‚ and Substrate Concentrations on Benzoquinone Production BIOL 2051 June 10th 2013 Introduction Enzymes are the ultimate catalysts of living things. Enzymes are made of proteins which are structured and directed by amino acids chains. Enzymes attract and fit substrate molecules to an active site. The active site binds the substrate molecules covalently to enzyme forming an enzyme-substrate complex‚ which catalyzes

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to observe and understand the effects of changes in temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ and substrate concentration on the reaction rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Another purpose of the lab was to explain how environmental factors affect the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Hypothesis: I believe that if there is an increase in enzyme concentration‚ an increase in temperature‚ or an increase in pH‚ then the intensity of the reaction will increase

courses offered by an educational institution”. In the world of education‚ do extracurricular activities still matter? Well‚ they are definitely a way to escape boredom as they strive to challenge an individual to do something new by overloading or filling up his schedule. And in truth‚ there are some anecdotes on different individuals cracking under pressure due to their participation in these activities. However‚ they cannot compare to the countless rewards that these ventures have to offer. After

The effects of the school activities to the learning achievement of the selected fourth year students of Liceo de San Pedro Academic Year 2009-2010. School activities are those sponsored by and usually held at school but that are not part of the academic curriculum. They often involve some time commitment outside of the regular school day. A school activity serves as a break of the students from their lessons. School activities include both extracurricular and co-curricular activities. School

The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity and Oxygen Production Throughout this report you will gain information as to how temperature effects the amount of oxygen produced in an enzyme- catalase experiment. In the experiment we used liver extract as a catalase and created a chemical reaction within a reaction chamber between the catalase and hydrogen peroxide as well as three different controlled temperatures. In the procedure below there will be a step by step process as to how

Macromolecular Composition of the Liver Cell Formal Report Aims The aim of the experiment was to test for the presence of DNA‚ RNA‚ protein and glycogen in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of bovine liver cells. From the findings of the results the distribution of these macromolecules can be shown within the liver cell. This was carried out by undertaking qualitative experiments‚ where the observation of a colour change was noted and a quantitative experiment‚ where numerical data was recorded from

Experiments on the Enzyme Catalase Aim: The aim of this practical is to use three different techniques to investigate the effect of different concentrations of the enzyme catalase on the rate of breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Background information Catalase is an enzyme which is found in all living organisms. This enzyme catalases the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Cells continually produce a poisonous by-product of metabolising‚ called hydrogen peroxide. This is very
